"Will a grid based around wind and solar kill manufacturing and industry? It’s
what the naysayers – the Coalition and conservative agitators – want you to
believe, but the experience in South Australia, which leads the world in the
uptake of wind and solar, proves the opposite.
The state’s transmission operator ElectraNet says wind and solar has accounted
for a world-leading 75 per cent share of local demand in the last 12 months,
and the accelerated target of “net” 100 per cent renewables by 2027 is
attracting interest from new industry.
“As we enter the next phase of the energy transformation, South Australia is
now seeing a level of interest from new, large electricity loads not seen for a
very long time,” ElectraNet CEO Simon Emms says.
“Interest in new load connections currently exceeds 2,000 MW, driven by
electrification and green re-industrialisation of the economy as loads seek
access South Australia’s clean energy.”
This interest in new loads is coming from industries such as green steel,
mining, desalination, hydrogen and other energy-intensive operations such as
data centres. Much of it will be based in regional areas, and at least 1,000 MW
of new load is expected by 2030, nearly doubling the state’s average load."
